Daniel Sturridge looks set to miss the remainder of the year after suffering yet another injury.
The reds striker was looking hopeful for a return to the Liverpool line up for the weekend's clash against Crystal Palace but suffered yet another incident in training.
A thigh scan undertaken by Liverpool today showed a different problem from the thigh injury he suffered with England earlier this autumn. Sturridge also injured his calf in training in October.
He has played just 3 league games for Liverpool this season.
With Mario Balotelli also a doubt after picking up a hamstring knock whilst on international duty Liverpool look likely to recall either Fabio Borini or Rickie Lambert to the starting XI.
